Task Details

  • Task Structure (please given an overview of the task procedures here [i.e., overall design, block, trial, and within-trial event structure and timing])
    • procedure
      • block: 2 blocks, one full length, one abbreviated
      • trial: 240 choice trials in the full length block, the amount of trials in the abbreviated block varies by when subject shows indifference
  • Stimulus Characteristics
    • sensory modality (e.g., visual, auditory, somatosensory, gustatory, olfactory): visual
    • functional modality (e.g., linguistic, spatial, numerical, categorical):
    • presentation modality (e.g., human examiner, paper, computer display, headphones, speaker): computer display
  • Response Characteristics
    • response required - mouse click
      • effector modality (e.g., vocal, manual, pedal): manual
      • functional modality (e.g., words, drawing, writing, keypress, movement): mouse click
    • response options (e.g., yes/no, go/no-go, forced choice, multiple choice [specify n of options], free response)- mouse click or command selection
    • response collection (e.g., examiner notes, keyboard, keypad, mouse, voice key, button press)- mouse or keyboard
  • Assessment/Control Characteristics
    • timing
      • monthly cycle dependent??
      • circadian dependent??
    • control assessment
      • 5 senses??
